Brinsupri experience after 3+ months

I've been on Brinsupri for about 5 months. The 1st month I didn't feel that it was helping. I was coughing a lot and brought up a lot of phlegm. I felt tired and discouraged. The next month the coughing was less as was the expectoration.
Month 3 & 4 was a great improvement. Coughing significantly less as was expectoratiing. I felt great.
(FYI I use a nebulizer with 2 medications....not regularly but often.)
Now I've finished my 5th month. My coughing has increased tremendously causing me to bring up phlegm very often....especially in the morning. I am once again very worried that Brinsupri has stopped working.
I would like feedback from medical experts.
Thank u

@hop4joy Hello, I'm sorry you are not doing well right now. Mayo Connect is a patient and caregiver support network who share our journeys, successes and questions, but we are not medical professionals.

Brinsupri is new to all of us, and the long-term effectiveness is not yet known. Please share your concerns with your doctor, they may want to check you for a secondary infection.
